@loze stephane I'm Breton, and I grew in Breton with my family. The first time I heard french was in my school, and I think is a language...well...ugly. The worst latin language (Castellano and Italiano are more beautiful to heard). So, yeah, the French state did everything to make them disappear, it's true. But the Breton language survive : we are here. And with friends, we speak Breton ! The Breton isn't dead, and is more alive than it has been for a long time. Many people are learning it, and we are here to encourage them. Because it's our language. A precious treasure, the treasure that our ancestors gave us. So, the struggle isn't finished. We want the Breton language and the Gallo language are official languages of Brittany, we want all regional languages of France are official languages !

I don't know if this will be worthy of interest to you guys and gals, but as Brittany was part of the third crusade along with France or England, it was provided a coloured cross.

The first permanent construction on the mont is dated back from 708/709, when Aubert, Bishop of Avranches (near by city ), dedicated the mount to Saint-Michel by building a small auratory. At that time, neither normandy nor britanny were in existence , only Neustrie (from paris to armorican peninsula). In 867, the cotentin and the avranchin were given to the bretons, and then in 933, the normands took it. So the mount has been normand since .

Breton is so pretty, one of the prettiest languages, and many Breton words and sounds are similar to certain Dutch / Hungarian / Welsh / French / Latin words and sounds! I am advanced level in Dutch and beginner level in Breton / Welsh / Cornish and Hungarian and most Germanic languages and most Latin languages etc, and it’s not easy to find resources / videos teaching Breton and most other Celtic languages on yt, which makes it so hard for someone to learn them! There should be many ppl making videos on Breton pronunciation / grammar / verbs / conjunctions / adverbs / prepositions etc and lots of vocab videos, and these languages should be included in videos about languages - I cannot understand why Celtic languages are almost never included!

And also, for the less known Germanic languages, like Faroese / Icelandic / Gothic / Old Norse / Norn / Old English etc and Limburgish and the West-Vlaamse / Oost-Vlaamse Dutch-based languages and Luxembourgish / Low Dietsch / Ripuarian etc and the three Frisian languages (West Frisian / North Frisian / East Frisian) and the other German-based languages and Gallo / Galician / Guernsey and the 4 French-based languages spoken in Belgium and Occitan and Aranese etc and all Italian-based languages like Venetian / Sicilian / Neapolitan etc and Slovenian, they all should have an Easy yt and multiple yts that teach them and that make vocab videos etc like those Pod101 videos etc with over 1.000 words etc!

Every Breton song I've listened to has this very intense, almost holy feeling.

The actual Breton flag is quite recent. You can find some other variants.

[@datCatInSunglasses]

It is because the flag was designed by Morvan Marshall, who was part of the Breton democratic party and the song "bretoned sonn" was used by the breton nationalist party. Those two symbols come from different political movements

[@officialeuladegenerate4035]

That's because the flag wasn't the idea of the guy who wrote brezhoned sonn. That's somewhay a tragic story, every breton autonomist is dreaming of an independant state but they simply cant cooperate about it.

@@officialeuladegenerate4035 last I heard, Breton independence is like Québec's hopes: dim and only getting slightly dimmer every year.

I love how Breton is kinda like the English of the Celtic languages with all the loanwords, here's a rundown: Poent: from Old French "point" (modern "point") and means point or time. Stagañ: from Old French "estakier" (modern "attaquer" and "attacher") from Germanic and means to stick, kick out, to start etc... Stourm-->stourmer: from Old French "estorme" (no modern equivalent) and means struggle or fight. Skubañ: from Latin "scopea" (modern French "écouvillion" preserves this root) and means to sweep. Oaled: straight from Old English "æled" and means hearth. Kempenn: from Latin "compōnere" (modern French "composer" ) and means to cleanse or arrange. Sklaer: from "sklas", from Modern French "glace" and means clear. Tenn: from Latin "tendēre" (modern French "tendre") and means taut or tough. Kastell: from Latin "castellum" (modern French "château") and means castle. Kriz: from Latin "crūdus" (modern French "cru" ) and means raw or cruel. Bourc'hiz: from Old French "burc" (modern French "bourg") from Germanic and means bourgeois. Treitour: from Old French "traïtor" (modern French traître) and means traitor. Eost: from the Latin name "Augustus" (Modern French "Auguste") and means harvest. Daoniñ: from Latin "Damnum" (modern French "dam" and "dommage") and means to damn. Chaseal: from Modern French "chasser" and means to hunt or chase. Bountiñ: from Modern French "bouter" (old-fashioned) from Germanic and means to push or shove out. Feal: from Old French "feäl" (modern "féal" although the word's obsolete) and means faithful. Enor: from Latin "honōr" (modern French "honneur") and means honour. "Ker" in kerkent: from Norman "quer" (modern French "Cher") and means dear. Dispak: from Middle French "pacque" (modern "paquer") from Germanic and means loosened or ready. Forzh: from Modern French "force" and means "case"

U do a terrible mistake. Old french is very young compare to breton language. U say enor come from old french then this word come to cornish language.

I like Brittany and the other remnants of the Celts but I'm Canadian and I'm confused about the aspirations of the Breton nationals. Do they want independence or would they be content with just more autonomy within France? If it's autonomy than what kind exactly?

[@yezholein9252]

There are several claims, the first , the most requested is the reunification, currently the borders of Britanny are incompleted, the "Brittany region" is made up of only 4 departments because the French state has decided to divide this territory by removing the 5th department the "loire-atlantique" which is one of the richest, in order to weaken Brittany politically and economically (France then created a new artificial region called 'Pays de la Loire' by taking pieces of territories that were never really linked between them), it's a little like the case of Ireland which is not really complete because it officially lacks Northern Ireland. Then there are many Bretons who want Brittany to become autonomous (that it manages itself taxes, education and school programs, hospitals etc because France is a very centralized state and the majority of decisions are taken by the government which is in Paris and which is not always aware of the real local needs) Without separating from France. Then there is a smaller part of the population who want full political independence and become a different state from France (because they believe that the French state will not change its centralized policy which is not in the interests of Brittany and that the only way out and to fully exploit the economic, cultural potential, and to be more democratic is to leave France to fully manage the affairs of Brittany) And obviously autonomists and separatists all want the reunification of Brittany which would then be a powerful region economically and culturally ;) it's very summary, and I translate a lot with google translate I hope it's understandable ^^

[@yezholein9252]

@@Canada1994 Yes in fact each region has a regional council, The main areas of intervention in the region are economic development, high schools, vocational training and higher education, land use planning and transport. They remain very dependent on national politics. If I'm not mistaken, each region obtains certain subsidies (from the French state or from Europe), but according to many the subsidies are too low / lower than the economic needs of the region and its capacities (there are often the argument "most of the taxes levied in Brittany do not come back to Bretons" presented by people in favor of autonomy / independence). In fact, most of the elected representatives present at the regional councils belong to French national parties and consequently the questions of autonomy / independence make little progress, even if there is a real desire for decentralization. In other regions like the Alsace or the Corsica they have more elected autonomists / separatists and we can see the difference. But i'm not a specialist on the subject either, so I don't want to go into too much detail for fear of saying nonsense haha
